(chorus)
We're leavin' for the army never to return,
we'll fight back for our country no matter who we burn,
The terrorists can bomb us but they'll never learn,
so we're leaving for the army never to return,

(Verse)
We wanted to do something meaningful with our lives (with our lives)
And not be stuck inside some stuffy office (stuffy office)
We thought to fight for freedom (fight for freedom)
But freedom rarely ever comes from bloodshed (comes from bloodshed)

(chorus)
We're leavin' for the army never to return,
we'll fight back for our country no matter who we burn,
The terrorists can bomb us but they'll never learn,
so we're leaving for the army never to return,

(verse)
We're always told that death is just a beginning (just a beginning)
But everybody knows it's just the end (just the end)
We thought to fight for freedom (fight for freedom)
But we hardly ever stepped off the plane (into the rain)

(Bridge)
When I turn my back to leave

(Verse)
Other than their helpless minds
I am the only casualty
Of this eternal worthless war
and all that it can be
And as I die and go to hell
I know I can't turn back,
for all that ends was left behind
when I joined the ranks

(Chorus)
We're a pointless army
in a pointless war
with the pointless objective
of feeding the poor
with our lies and our death
so just save your breath
Woah-oh!

(Verse)
Have you walked a hundred miles
in my bloody shoes,
to find a hopeful tunnel light
that's never really there
and while your achin' back does break
you wish you'd turned away,
from that drug of falsehood
that always tempts you still.

(Chorus)
We're a pointless army
in a pointless war
with the pointless objective
of feeding the poor
with our lies and our death
so just save your breath
Woah-oh!

(Bridge)
Lead on
strive on
To find a truth without a purpose
and find a fight without a foe
to lead against the army
that's only in our minds

All the candadates are lined up,
In front of you.
Like prized cows,
at the country fair.

You check their teeth,
and look for blemishes,
until you find one you like,
and want to bid on.

When the moment comes,
at last,
you find that other people,
want your cow, too.
So you pay an enormus sum of money,
to get her.

When you get home,
people crowd around her,
and oooooh and aaaaaahhhh,
in wonderment.
Then they get bored and walk away.

The next summer,
the same cow,
is causing mayhem.
Kicking her handler,
escaping from her stall,
and eating other farmer's crops.

One year ago,
this was the best cow,
in the fair.
Now you will have to,
look for a new one.

If Elected ...: Obama Envisions New Iran Approach - In an interview, Senator Barack Obama said that forging a new relationship with Iran would be part of his effort to stabilize Iraq. [NYTimes -- National]

I like the idea Senator Obama has for his approach. He acts like he respects Iran and its people, instead of considering them an opposing force that needs to be controlled and guarded. His approach would be very beneficial towards withdrawing the troops from Iraq and creating a safer Iraq because, if it works, Iran would no longer be providing Shiite groups with monetary support and weaponry.
